There are generally two main types of settings that applications want to store:

  1. Static data like connection strings and web references that don't change often, but should still be possible for an admin to change.
  2. User preferences and customization settings that can change at any time.

Application scoped settings are useful in scenario (1) and user scoped settings are useful in scenario (2).
Why cant I change application scoped settings at runtime?
Where is the user.config file located in a non-Clickonce app?
Why is the user.config path so obscure?
Why is there a version number in the user.config path?
How can I get the user.config file path programmatically in a non-Clickonce app?
